And reason why this would work:
[lua]propPrice = string.gsub( “Tap!Here”, “!”, " " )
print ( "propPrice "…propPrice )[/lua]
to correctly print “Tap Here” but this:
[lua]propPrice = string.gsub( “Tap$Here”, “$”, " " )
print ( "propPrice "…propPrice )[/lua]
prints “Tap$Here” instead?

Try this
[lua]propPrice = string.gsub( “Tap$Here”, “%$”, " " )
print ( "propPrice "…propPrice )[/lua]
According to Lua docs
Some characters, called magic characters, have special meanings when used in a pattern. The magic characters are
( ) . % + - * ? [^ $
The character %´ works as an escape for those magic characters. So, '%.' matches a dot; '%%' matches the character %´ itself. You can use the escape `%´ not only for the magic characters, but also for all other non-alphanumeric characters. When in doubt, play safe and put an escape.
